The cost of a barrel of oil would shoot way up certainly affecting the price of jet fuel.

Thats bad news especially since production is up, demand is down and the oil prices are already through the roof !

Aren't those the classic signs of a speculation-driven bubble? Unless the worldwide cartel is very disciplined, might we not see a major collapse in oil prices?

Israel hasn't exactly been quiet about this, they've pretty much stated that if they think Iran is close to having operational nuclear weapons capabilities, they will strike first.

There's no question about Iran, the IAEA inspectors consistently report that Iran is capable of, and progressing towards, nuclear weapon production. And to make matters worse, it looks like Iran has just stopped cooperating with the IAEA. Perhaps they don't want witnesses as they enter the home stretch?

The only question is what are willing to do about it, if anything?

But the decision might be made for us by someone anyhow.

That joke has been around since the 1970's. It is good to see it still in circulation.
